New school app launched for Escambia County parents

Have a question about Escambia County schools? There's now an app for that.

The 'ECSD Families' app rolled out on Friday.

The main goal is to make it easy for parents to see how their children are doing in school.

They can quickly get information on attendance, assignments and grades.

"Making sure parents can stay informed. That quick, easy access, it's just right there," said Jeff Elliott with the Escambia County School District. "By being an app you're already logged in, you can see everything right there. Great for parents that have multiple students in the school district."

The app is also great for anyone who wants to get school district information, like event calendars or sports.
